Road Warrior Car - Finished

Hello and welcome back. There will be a bit of post bombardment as I catch up with the odds and ends I have been doing in the last week or two.

As you may recall from previous posts, over on the Post Apoc Wargames forum the Warlord's 2016 challenge is to build a post apoc vehicle. Take a look and join in! Look here.

For the Challenge I have been working on making a Road Warrior Car for my Blood and Fire setting. To be exact a rebuilt Fury Road variant of the Interceptor. In the fill in the gaps graphic novel Max rebuilds a Interceptor from bits he scavenges or wins in contests.
Since the last report work has been slowly moving forward in the painting. I am glad to say that the car is finished.  

The not Max figure is The Stranger from the Warlands range by Aberrant Games . 

The tank and blower are items from Warlands. The resin stowage and jerry cans are made by Fields Of Glory and are intended for 1:72 WW2 Allied vehicles. 

The exhausts are made from 1mm brass wire bent to fit. 

 I am not too happy with the scratch made front panel. However this is the rebuilt wasteland (Fury Road) version of the Interceptor so I wont lose sleep over it. 

This was a fun and interesting build for me and I have learnt a few new techniques for future post apoc car builds. 

Thanks for looking and stay safe out there. 

Stranger and his dog.

Welcome back to my humble blog. 

Every Wasteland needs a wandering anti hero doing good possibly for his own gain. If like my Blood and Fire setting vehicular insanity is part of the fun then your Anti Hero needs to be some sort of Not Mad Max. 

In this case it is The Stranger and his dog for Warlands by Aberrant games. 

The Stranger is up for hire in a Wasteland near you....I look forward to getting him into trouble in a few games soon. 

The car is a die-cast by M2 - nice 1/64 cars that size up well with Hotwheels. M2 cars are more detailed and have rubber tyres on the wheels. This car came with several spare wheels which have gone into the spares bin. The cars can be split easily as they are held together with screws. The downside is M2 cars cost a lot more than Hotwheels or Matchbox. 

The stripped car. I look forward to getting this car converted. 

Thanks for looking. See ya on the roads!
